As the most fierce competition for the title among the five major leagues in Europe, the Premier League has been a red-and-blue showdown between Manchester City and Liverpool in the past few seasons, but the strong rise of champions Chelsea in this season has made the previous two-strong competition into a three-legged stand, and at the beginning of the season, the Blues once led the way in the standings with excellent performance, but with the deepening of the season, Chelsea gradually fell behind in the standings and fell to the third place, Liverpool is still the main competitor of the Blue Moon Army! In the twenty-fifth round of the first game, Manchester City won a big away victory over Norwich, extending their advantage over the Reds to 12 points, but Liverpool played two games less, or have the possibility of coming later, in this round of the league, Liverpool away to challenge Burnley at the bottom of the table, all three points to narrow the gap between them and Manchester City to single digits has become their only goal, but burnley played at home is not conservative at all, and has created threatening offensive opportunities many times. Fortunately, Alisson was in good shape to save the goal, and Fabinho's goal helped Liverpool beat Burnley 1-0 and win the league for four consecutive wins!
Burnley, who is at the bottom of the table, now has huge relegation pressure, which is why they are not conservative at all when facing the overall strength of Liverpool, which is far stronger than their own, but the gap in the team's control is still very obvious, Liverpool has controlled the ball at their feet for a long time during the game, but Burnley's defensive counterattack is very threatening, and the first half has allowed Alisson to make wonderful saves many times.
In the 14th minute, after Bronhill won the ball in front of the big box, he blasted a high-quality long-range shot, fortunately, Alisson was focused enough to fly to save the ball out of the bottom line, 3 minutes later Corne completed a shot that hit the target in the box, Alisson held the ball steadily, in the 28th minute Burnley's set-piece was hoisted into the box, Rodriguez's close-range shot was again saved by Alisson, after carrying the opponent's attack, Liverpool scored first in the 40th minute, Using corner kick tactics Fabinho grabbed the point to give Liverpool a 1-0 lead.
After the start of the second half, Liverpool still had a clear advantage in possession, but the forward players did not feel good on the goal and did not form too many threatening offensive opportunities, but van Dijk and Matip sat in the backline, the performance was more stable than the first half, did not allow Burnley's attack to convert into a goal, and finally the Liverpool away team won 1 goal against the league vice president, taking away 3 points as desired.
After winning this game, Liverpool narrowed the gap between themselves and the leader Manchester City to just 9 points, considering that the Reds still have one less game to play, and the two sides have a direct dialogue this season, as long as Liverpool can play well in the next game, it is still very promising to end the Blue Moon's dream of defending the title, but Liverpool's immediate priority is the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final between Inter Milan in three days. I hope that the Reds will be able to play a better performance in the Champions League, if it is still in this state, it is likely to encounter the tenacious resistance of the Nerazzurri in the Champions League!
